ROBIN “Shenikia is such a loving and supportive person. Anything that I seek to accomplish, she pushes me and keeps me going.”

A woman who inspires me is my sister, Shenikia. She has always been my encourager and motivator throughout my life. I began to truly see how she inspires me in the early part of 2010, the year our mother was placed in hospice. Shenikia, along with my aunts and myself, took excellent care of our mother. Toward the end of our mother’s life, my sister was administering her pain medication.

After our mother’s passing, my sister has been the one to hold our family together.

However, her strength as a caretaker was not done there. About five years after our mom passed, our father and grandmother started having medical issues. At that time, Shenikia was in school obtaining her master’s degree. Through every hospital stay and doctor’s appointment, my sister was there while continuing to take classes at night. Shenikia is such a loving and supportive person. Anything that I seek to accomplish, she pushes me and keeps me going. She has our mother’s heart, and I have always looked up to her. I am blessed to do this thing called life with Shenikia!
